"which one has more dots?" Neither do???

Thank you so much for sharing.

I've been struggling with math my entire life and still am I haven't been diagnosed but I have a feeling I struggle with this as well

Now i know I'm not dumb its just my brain doesn't like numbers 😔

My school

I have always struggled severely with this. Back in school I would do all my math work correctly but I’d constantly copy down problems wrong. And counting was pretty much impossible and took me 3x longer than everyone else cause my brain looses track. My teachers would basically just give me a hard time saying I’m smart but I’m not trying. It was awful. I did great in other classes but this issue basically made me stop trying in school. Wish I had some real help

My 5 year old granddaughter is very smart by all indications. This morning, her mom called me in tears expressing great upset at the realization that my granddaughter will need to be tested for what seems to be an ongoing struggle to count (competently) from 1 to 10. I tried my best to be reassuring by telling my daughter that it's wonderful that she's reaching out for help now rather than wait until she starts kindergarten. I'd never heard of dyscalculia until i hopped on google to look it up. My greatest fear is that my granddaughter will be pigeon holed if, in fact, she's found to have this challenge. I don't want to see her stigmatized and made to feel less than she is with no recognition given to the myriad of other ways she excels.

They're putting me in an extra math class because I have this💀💀💀💀

Undiagnosed children, presenting with internalised anxiety based demand avoidance, are experiencing autistic burnout as a result of unmet need. This is largely due to autistic 'masking' in school, especially amongst 'academically high achievers '. Yes: they achieve well academically...until they reach burnout and their attendance plummets! Please please please train staff in approaches to Pathological Demand Avoidance !

An anxiety based demand avoidant presentation can mean that neurotypical behaviour management techniques, such as sanctions and rewards, prove counter-productive. The PDA Society Website has information on more suitable methods .

I have dyscalculia and it doesn’t help that I have to do my exams soon.

i just realized that i may have this. i’m literally 18.

Thank you for sharing this, it was really helpful! I really like the look of your grid that you add on work that you adapted for those chn on the engagement model. I can't read it clearly on here. Am I right in thinking it says : Student initiated/adult led Individual/small group/large group Time spent: Involvement level: 1 2 3 What would you judge the involvement on - how much the supporting adult was involved?

What school is this? My son has dyscalculia and has an IEP but I don’t think he gets nearly as much help as he needs. Looks like they are doing great things to help these students at this school!

Wait no

I go to this school

I just wish teachers actually support them more in High school I really feel my high school ignored me.

I've been thinking for a long time my bad coordination, difficulty reading and learning to ride a bike and tie my shoes is because dyspraxia. But that last 3 years everything is because of Covid so ever since I was 2yo back in the 1980s must be because of Covid.

I m in 8th grade and I can barely solve 5th grade maths my mom thinks I m just dumb

Wish I had this support in primary school, coming into my last year in secondary and still no official diagnosis. Done every screening test given to me and all indicated pretty severe dyscalcuila - yet the school system seems to ignore my case, and I haven’t been refered for official diagnosis yet.

I have this and I struggle so much at school

To Karima Esmail @1:00 dot ..... First of all do you know how import is counting and seeing dots ? do you know how much you need to teach before they know what numbers mean ? I believed you dont even know there are skills to teach counting and i believed you dont know how kids count them and how to improve them ......... You didn;t expect an 8 years old to add 32 and 20 ......do you know why ? Do you know how to improve them ? Do you know what should be taught before teaching them 32 + 20 ? 8 years old without knowing is very normal , because the school system is teaching very little concepts and very bad skillsets ? do you even know what i know ? I know why , and i know how to improve them and always i needed to stop them from learning the materials at school . Do you even have students following you more than 10 years ? did you observe enough and think hard how and why ? Btw do you believe other students that can add 32 + 20 really can do 32 + 20 ? do you know writing an answer out does not mean they can do maths ? Do you know adding from the right to left is totally non sense ?

I have Dyscalculia and Anxiety Disorder, looking back it frustrates me because I went my whole life not knowing until recently.....the world really needs to know more about Dyscalculia!

I believe I have it

Is there any link for downloading the DLD Guide document?

Wonderful work! Thank you for the sharing!

Excellent! Thank you.

how do you reference something in this video for an assignment as I do not know all of the names of people talking?

I am very disappointed that this resource for introducing dyscalculia to professionals does not touch on the social aspects of the condition, for example working memory and telling the time. I believe that this video gives the impression that the problem is confined mainly to the Maths classroom, whereas in reality, the effects are much further reaching than that. My daughter has dyscalculia and although she did struggle in maths, we didn't initially realise that this was the reason she kept getting told off for not obeying clear instructions. Because of the dyscalculia, her working memory was very poor and she simply did not retain instructions. She also had trouble (and still does) telling the time on an analogue clock, and doesn't have the ability to understand the concept of time, and how long has passed between two time points. It is very important for new teachers, and parents to understand these sides of dyscalculia, as they affect much more in life than just mathematical problems. My daughter is an artist and so doesn't need to have much to do with maths on a daily basis. However, her condition still affects her very much on the working memory and time aspects. Please be aware that dyscalculia is not confined to the maths lesson!

You mentioned around 34:00 that IEP and SMART targets have been shown by research not to work and are overly burdensome, and that this is why the Code refers to outcomes instead. Could you link me to some of the research on this please?

Thank you. I am thinking about applying for this role in my school.

It would be nice to see less information on each slide so they can be better processed and understood.

Please can you let me know how to download the slides.

What a caring and supportive school! If only all schools could be like this. All NQTs should definitely watch this.

Awesome channel! Check out my page and sub if you like 😍

Superb! This really needs to go out to every school for children of all school years. So many helpful tips which can also be useful to anyone living with the effects of an ABI at any age with helpful information that is also great for families and friends too!
